让噪声图像对训练去噪模型更高效,突破了传统方法对非线性处理的限制。

Nonlinear Noise2Noise for Efficient Monte Carlo Denoiser Training

  • 提出可安全使用非线性变换的噪声图像训练框架,避免结果偏差
  • 在高动态范围渲染图像上实现接近全参考训练的效果
  • 适合需要无干净标签的图像去噪场景,如渲染、医学成像

Noise2Noise 方法允许使用一对噪声输入与目标图像进行机器学习去噪器训练,无需干净目标图像。然而,该方法存在重大局限:对噪声目标施加非线性函数会引入偏差,因为其期望值不再等于干净图像。由于图像处理中常见非线性操作,这一限制阻碍了预处理应用。本文提出关键洞察:某些非线性函数可在不引入显著偏差的前提下应用于噪声目标。我们建立理论框架分析此类非线性影响,定义一类低偏移非线性函数。以蒙特卡洛渲染生成的高动态范围(HDR)图像为例,现有方法常通过非线性色调映射降低动态范围以缓解训练中的异常值问题。此前认为此操作与 Noise2Noise 不兼容。本文证明特定损失函数与色调映射组合能有效抑制异常值且保持低偏差。我们将该方法应用于已有基于学习的蒙特卡洛去噪器,原版使用高采样率参考图像训练,而新方法仅用噪声数据即达到相近性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The Noise2Noise method allows for training machine learning-based denoisers with pairs of input and target images where both the input and target can be noisy. This removes the need for training with clean target images, which can be difficult to obtain. However, Noise2Noise training has a major limitation: nonlinear functions applied to the noisy targets will skew the results. This bias occurs because the nonlinearity makes the expected value of the noisy targets different from the clean target image. Since nonlinear functions are common in image processing, avoiding them limits the types of preprocessing that can be performed on the noisy targets. Our main insight is that certain nonlinear functions can be applied to the noisy targets without adding significant bias to the results. We develop a theoretical framework for analyzing the effects of these nonlinearities, and describe a class of nonlinear functions with minimal bias. We demonstrate our method on the denoising of high dynamic range (HDR) images produced by Monte Carlo rendering. Noise2Noise training can have trouble with HDR images, where the training process is overwhelmed by outliers and performs poorly. We consider a commonly used method of addressing these training issues: applying a nonlinear tone mapping function to the model output and target images to reduce their dynamic range. This method was previously thought to be incompatible with Noise2Noise training because of the nonlinearities involved. We show that certain combinations of loss functions and tone mapping functions can reduce the effect of outliers while introducing minimal bias. We apply our method to an existing machine learning-based Monte Carlo denoiser, where the original implementation was trained with high-sample count reference images. Our results approach those of the original implementation, but are produced using only noisy training data.
